I've had 3 colonoscopies. The prep (hungry & having lots of diarreah from the meds) is the worst part, as you have to get "cleaned out." I always get very sore "down there" --it literally burns after a while-- probably because my doctors have made me take a saline laxative solution. When it got sore, I used some diaper rash cream, which really helped.
I only had to be on a liquid diet for the day before. But I drank alot of water & clear juices, & I ate jello. I found that once those laxatives start kicking in, I wasn't much in the mood to eat anyway.
The procedure itself is a breeze. You won't even remember it.
